Okay well if this isn't really a good topic go ahead and close it mods I just thought I would tell you all...


Okay so I'm in honors. I know, you're probably thinking, "Geek alert". But that's what bothers me. Cuz on TV shows, movies, all that stuff the people in honors are thought of to be geeks, and supposedly all the hot guys are dumb*sses. But at my school allll the popular (and HOT) guys are in honors...and all the popular girls are in honors. All the dumb people are the geeks...its freakishly weird...

I don't know you can discuss it I guess :\

--->Sierra
Oh yeah, why are smart people automatically labeled as geeks in the first place????

Nah, that's just a stereotype. I'm an honors student and I prefer to be called a nerd over a geek. 'Cause nerds are awesome. Getting good grades doesn't mean that you're a geek. In my school, most of the honors students are cool people. Not very geeky at all. Ugh, I'm not making sense.

In my school, honors class is like a balance between the popular ones and the nerds/geeks. The major stereotype in my school is that all Asians (since almost everybody in honors are Asians) are smart. Popular or not is no big deal.

It's really just a stereotype, and you shouldn't care what other people say.
My schools is supposedly a really smart school, and everyone thinks that the students here are geeks or nerds. However, there are some people that wouldn't normally be labelled as that.

At my school, there is essentially no one not in honors worth talking to. I swear, they have all our class levels to separate lower class minorities more than anything. If you want geeky, there's IB. Honors is pretty much normal. But honestly, either way, do you want to spend your life on the level of idiots, getting nowhere, just to be "cool"?

I think being called a geek is kind of insulting. I prefer nerd as well =D. I'm very proud to be called or call myself a nerd.

Well, I'll always prefer nerd to geek, I don't like geek because I don't think it properly describes me. Plus, I think nerd sounds better =P. And I think both are a compliment overall, maybe not in their "formal" definitions, but how they're defined, or how I see them usually defined, now.

hahaha...it's basically the opposite at my school, being 99% asian.

For us, if you're not in honors, ib or ap classes, they're labeled as 'stupid.' at our school, it's cool to be a nerd.

There are a lot honors students that are very popular in my school.
No one really cares if their smart or not. No one cares if their geek or not. Geeks ARE pretty cool though.
I call them unique.

I was in honors once. back in 8th grade. I had Geometry. I didn't really think it was that important back then. So I was lazy and didn't do anywork. Got an F. Now I'm like normal now. Algebra 2, but If i would have passed that Geometry in 8th grade, I'd prolly be in Triggo. *sigh* I missed that feeling of when people were thinking I was smarter than them. Damn hated myself for slacking. haha, thats life

I don't think I'm a geek or intelligent people are geeks alone.
I personally don't care if I'm thought of as a geek or loser.
Shoot, as long as I get my education, I can careless. ;)

I'm in honors in my JHS, and i'm not considered a geek, most people wouldn't even know i was in honors by looking at me.

They assume that everyone in Stuyvesant high school in NYC is full of geeks. Me and my friend were accepted, and we are never classified as geeks, since the definition of the stereotype "geek" = no life, smart, and doesnt flirt with alot of girls or have a gf, when we have extremely busy social lives. when i went to the open house, did i see a bunch of dorky looking people who speak with a nerdy accent? No, i saw a huge variety of people.

people who categorize others into stereotypes i despise, since you can't classify a person just by how they look or act, since everyone is unique.

half the people in honors at my old school got through the year by cheating on tests and copying homework.

edit:
and by the way, stuyvesant is NOT full of geeks. my sister went there with a whole bunch of friends, they got decent B-range grades and still were able to party every weekend. it's a smart school, but that doesn't mean that they're all geeks.

I don't really care if people think I'm a nerd or a geek. All of my classes are AP next year and I'm in higher level classes this year, and no one has called me a nerd. People are pretty impressed actually, and think it's cool. If someone did call me a nerd, I wouldn't care...they'll probably end up as my garbage man in the future anyway.

What? huh.gif

Do hush. You're most wrong. The topic isn't about being cool..at all. It's about honors and geekiness. Not being a geek doesn't make you "hott" [sic]; you can not be a geek by taking the classes and still being apathetic to the acedemics, in ways such as falling asleep. Need I remind you that your telling her she's not contributing contributes even less?

And "hot" is spelled with one "t," for the record wink.gif

at my school, we don't use the words "honor student" i guess... we just say "made the honor roll" lol..

yeah, for the first semester i was on the B honor roll and for the second semester i was on the A honor roll...

they don't consider me a geek...

where i go to school, pretty much EVERYBODY at least makes the B honor roll... it's like everyone at my school is perdy smart... because they work us hard..

haha, what a dumbassed thing to think!!!

so if you're pretty and popular and preppy and stupid you can invent things like computers and TVs and be successful..
NO!!
if you're a dumbass, you can't DO anything, and if you can't DO anything you aren't successful! HAHA.

i think on tv, smart people are portrayed as geeks probably because everyone thinks that smart people have no social life or anything. its really dumb. =\

That's true... I mean, I don't give a f**k, and I don't think she should, either. But it's her choice if she wants to make a deal of it.
